Special edition graphics are seen on the fuel tank, side and rear panels. A USB charger has been installed on the handlebar, and it has a lid to cover the USB port in case of rains.

The Hero Splendor+ 25 Years Special Edition has the same specifications as the regular model. It is powered by a 97.2 cc air-cooled, single-cylinder OHC engine that delivers 8.36 PS of max power at 8,000 rpm and 8.05 Nm of peak torque at 5,000 rpm. The engine is paired with a four-speed, constant mesh gearbox. The motorcycle comes with a Kick and Self-start system. Stopping power comes from 130 mm drum brakes on both wheels while the safety net includes Hero MotoCorp's CBS tech, Integrated Braking System as standard.

Like the regular model, the special edition model rides on alloy wheels. However, its wheels have a black finish for distinctive styling. The suspension department uses telescopic hydraulic and swing arm with 5-step adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers at the front and rear respectively.
